His reputation told me he would be trouble, turns out to be the case.
Time to offload although this will only decrease his value.
13 games, 3 goals, 3 game FA suspension and one 2 week club suspension.........

How can you say he need to grow up do you know the guy ? Remember it's his 1st season in the new league with new teammates . Maybe a teammate tackle him really hard and decide to throw hands nobody knows what happen so please don't judge before you know the real story

No excuse for whacking a team mate.
Remember this guy has just returned from a 3 game suspension for his actions at Newcastle.

Not buying this, “we don’t know what he’s done yet”. Bearing in mind recent injuries do you think the club would suspend their own player lightly. Injured over Xmas then straight back with a 3 match ban and now this. Our record signing has let us down!!

What a complete tool and proof that big money signings are not the be all and end all.

How long have we been without him now due to his indiscipline? 5 weeks? This figure is based on my personal assumption that Cortese did a quiet in-house suspension of his own after the Newcastle game.

Unless he cuts this kind of cr@p out then he needs to be shipped out and fast. I was really looking forward to seeing him bang a few goals in on Saturday but now we’re all deprived of this, with a further burden now placed on the squad.

I only hope the Sam G. gets a chance, makes the most of it and relegates this chump to the bench permanently. Can’t stand people who have it all and throw it away whilst brining shame to our beloved club.

Whatever it is he has done it is obviously serious enough to get himself suspended. It is a shame after such a positive start to the season and all the positive press regarding our use of young english players and style of play ewtc we seem to be under a barrage of questions and negative publicity. Lets hope this doesn't detract to what has still been a good season so far on the pitch. Dani has not really performed yet, I am more concerned about the loss of Lovren and hope that another centre back can be bought in or given a chance from the u21's. We are a club to be proud of, lets hope this remains!

So he follows up a 3 match suspension for something that didn't even happen on the pitch and was entirely in his control by getting suspended by his club for something that didn't even happen on the pitch (and if it was a slap of a team mate as alleged) and was entirely in his control.

When he does play he spends most of his time rolling around on the floor and or giving the ref grief.

It's not as if this sort of $hite wasn't known about when we signed him which leads me to wonder why we did.

Agreed, MoPo and Cortese are held up as a shining example, which is quite right in many ways. BUT, they both need to be held accountable for this signing. At the moment it's £15m plus wages down the toilet and I can't say I'm suprised when you look at the history.

It's odd that they went through with signing him TBH, I thought we were smarter than that.

I don't get why this is an `anti-saints` story. surely the club come out of this looking good. there was an incident and the club acted properly. instead of sweeping it under the carpet, which would have caused a lot more speculation as to his non-appearance , the club has let everyone know that he is suspended for a training ground incident and the mater is now closed. this also might put pressure on Danni to behave in the future. he`s not going to be picked for Italy in the world cup if he`s not playing club football. Italy already have one temperamental forward in Mario so do they want another?
its up to Danni and the club now to see if there is a way forward. lets hope it will all be sorted and we can get back to winning games.
MP staked a lot to bring Danni in and might see it as a personal failure if Danni were to leave, and he did say that no players would leave if he didn't want them to.

I think we'd get something back for him if we sell so it's not £15m down the toilet, maybe 3 or 4?

Possibly, in the meantime he can just impress the hell out of us by serving his time, scoring a load of goals when he comes back then having the mother of all World Cup's. He can then go to AC Milan for £50m.

check out Luke shaw's latest tweet. don't want to jump too conclusions but it seems as if he approves the ban on o
Osvaldo. if you ask me for my opinion i reckon a player put in a tackle and he didn't like it.

It was noted when Osvaldo signed that he was somewhat temperamental and I would imagine that those responsible for signing him – including Mauricio Pochettino and Nicola Cortese – were smart enough to calculate he would miss a game or six every season.
However, as with a number beloved Saints of yore, the timing of the suspension leaves much to be desired.

I am very sad - but not surprised - by this latest report concerning Osvaldo. My own view is that he should be off loaded as soon as possible.

He has done nothing to to enhance our Club, only brought it into disrepute. His performances on the Park have been dismal considering the price paid for him and his current wages. I just think he doesn't give a toss for the Saints or his team mates.

No, I am convinced he should be sold soonest.

Four big money signings in the last couple of years. IMO paying large sums for players is / was not the answer. Aside from Lovren, i would suggest Ramirez, Wanyama and Osvaldo are no better than what we had / have got.

Whilst i accept our results have dipped since Wanyama has been out, in fairness to JC, we have played some tougher games than when Wanyama was in the team. His interception is class however his distribution has been poor.

Ramirez, whilst i have no doubt of his ability, really this guy is not suited to our type of system / tactics. He is a luxury as was Matt in his day however Matt would no doubt struggle within this current set up / high tempo / chase the ball style of play.

Osvaldo......well what to say, i am sure he could go onto great things but unfortunately he is a head case. The sad thing is it's not as if this wasn't know as he does have a history.

The man will not help the club from the side lines, but that is where he always seems too be. I would be sorry to see him go in the sense that we have never had a player costing that much before.On the day he signed i thought WOW, a player costing that much coming to our club to play for us was maybe a pointer of how our club was viewed abroad. I now feel maybe it was because nobody else really wanted him in the first place. If true that, he is spitting at other players , then there is no place at our club for him IMO.
Glad we only need four more wins to stay up , i would'nt of thought i would be saying that just a few weeks ago. Lets get this fecking month over with and move on.

Whatever he did - and I've no intention of speculating as to what that was - he shouldn't have done it and the club has taken the necessary steps. (Dumb Ossie - Well done club!)

In the meantime, I hope that:
1) any fall out between players can be resolved and everyone at the club can move on.
2) once he's back, we, as fans, will also move on, and - just as we did with Punch - we'll support and encourage him every time he dons a Saints shirt.

Obviously annoyed by this news because he's proving he has that child mentality that it seems some players never grow out of no matter how many times they get a second chance.

On the plus side, and it is a big plus side, Osvaldo's place in the squad or team has done nothing but distract and disrupt our performances this season so in actual fact it will mean continuity up front and a continued run for Ricky, who was lacking momentum dipping in and out of the side.

Plus it means we can't possibly think of cashing in on Ricky this month either, which in my opinion would be a mistake, particularly following the departure of Nicola.

Looks like were going to be keeping Dani and Gaston for a few more months then!

One of the most important things about the squad in recent seasons is the sense of team spirit and team unity. For years we have been one team with a unified spirit. Mess with that and disaster looms

The club has taken swift and appropriate action and he'd better get his act together or he'll be back on ebay !!

It doesn’t sound good on face value, but trust me this type of thing happens at all levels of football behind closed doors. Maybe Saints PR department thought they had to get in front of feared leaks to follow on social media, which would be a sad indictment of trust within the group.

I would usually agree with you but I think its a shrewd move. The press would have got a whiff of this then speculated and demanded a response if news of a punch up had leaked out. This way it is clear who the aggressor was, action has been taken, and in true NC style it is clear they will make no further comment. The players will all have been told to keep their mouths shut. So anything that emerges from now on will be pure guesswork. The story will die in less than ten days and everyone will move on.
Shrewd move.

It's all your fault. This is one riot you should have predicted.

The spoilt snotty italian brat is more DANNI AND THE DIAPERS.The sooner we ship him out with his pram,rattle,,and air guitar the better.
I know when Osvaldo first arrived at the club Jose Fonte went out of the way to befriend him and this is the thanks he gets.
If we cant sell him this transfer windiw then loan him out and hopefully get some one in on loan who will respect his fellow team mates.and give the club 100 per cent on and off the pitch.

This stuff happens all the time 2 days ago Gary Monk and Chico Floris were at it and the police were called to Swansea training ground, however he does seem to have caused a bit of aggro where ever he's been, what is it with Italian strikers, Balotelli was a nightmare at Man C and they got rid of him, however we are not them, we don't have their financial clout so I think it's best we keep Dani and hope the differences with Jose can be sorted for all concerned, obviously MoPo must have sanctioned the 2 weeks suspension so maybe Dani wasn't his starting 11 for 3 games he'll miss.

I can't see us getting another striker in the window, so he has to stay, IMO

I wondering how much Guly paid Jose to wind Dani up.

Not long ago I was slaughtered on this forum because I said Osvaldo was about to go crazy and was a liability and an average player ! I was right on 1 thing let's what's next hey!. We all remember the Riise vs Bellamy golf club incident they made up afterward but still it's bad publicity for our club and we do not need that at the moment.

The guy has been working his way out of our club for weeks now, don't be fooled into thinking the skirmish at Newcastle was just bad luck, he went out of his way to make that happen, he went home over christmas (supposedly injured) and then there was all sorts of gossip in the Italian press, wander where that came from. This mistake has got to be down to MoPo, he knew the bloke was a hot head, he smacked his team mate Eric Lamela during a match because he didn't pass him the ball, is that really somebody we want at Southampton and now he is out again, he's costing us about a million quid a game at this rate and we just can't afford that sort of liability on our books. The sooner they offload him the better.

You are quite right. I'll take it like a man though. No running off snivelling to the press and my agent asking for a move to another thread.

Getting p1ssed off with our clubs nose continually rubbed in the cr@p.
The club have acted very wisely to suspend Osvaldo and to ensure that the media know straight away.
They would have had a field day.
Knocking Southampton has got back to the old levels where it was a national pastime.
Our short lived popularity with them has become history.
Oh why do we always self distruct!
It's bl00dy hard being a Saints supporter.

That wouldn't have been so bad but then he told him he was really pi--ed with him for upsetting the best ref in the country. But if it's true that he hit Jose hopefully he'll be carrying a few bruises for the Yeovil game and he'll look so hard they won't want to come into our half.

I heard a rumour that Not606 had put in a bid but the DE weren't prepared to let you go because Not606 had insisted that they throw Alicescat in as part of the deal.

Don't worry, if something happens, you'll be the last to know.

Fonte has suffered serious facial injuries.
Hoover and yoshida to look forward at the back, lucky we only have Yeovil!

I'm all for giving 2nd chances however dani's had those, I now say sell.
Center half and now a striker in this transfer window.

Nice idea but impossible in reality. Apart from a couple of dozen players and all the coaching staff a few groundsmen and onlookers would have witnessed it. Then we would all be asking why he wasn't playing against Yeovil. There are somethings that can't be kept secret and when it came out the club would be seen to have breached its promise of transparency.

Seems that the injury has been exaggerated and won't affect his playing ability, may need to wear a mask though, just to frighten the Yeovil CF.

If the guy has a history of being a temperamental little Diva he does not belong on ANY football pitch for ANY club if he's gonna be acting like a thug and not a PROFESSIONAL. Football doesn't need someone like him if he can't control his temper. There's dozens of people out there that could easily replace him and be far more talented he should remember the age old saying "what goes around, comes around"
